It had been reported that Hernandez will be arrested for obstruction of justice. But the mood since then has definitely turned ominous.

As we were told earlier today by a source with knowledge of the situation, “Assume the worst.” Which would push the needle away from obstruction of justice and toward something closer to murder.

As Tom Curran of CSN New England said on Wednesday’s PFT Live, “Keep it simple.” Whose house has been searched multiple times by police? Hernandez’s. Whose rental car initially was found, reportedly, in the vicinity of the body? Hernandez’s.

Who by all appearances has been the focal point of the investigation? Hernandez.

Don’t be surprised if, come 2:00 p.m. ET or at some point thereafter, Hernandez is charged with something worse than obstruction of justice.

Been busy this morning… It’s about time they arrested Hernandez… Hopefully, they have a witness or some concrete evidence to charge him with murder. Regarding the salary cap… There should be no relief for the Patriots cutting Hernandez… You as an organization are responsible for every person you give a contract to… Sean Taylor DIED & the Redskins got no relief. Enough said.

Safe to say the Police up there have no leaks in their department. We haven’t heard names of other suspects, what AH is charged with, anything ! Everything has been reported by the media, who we all know makes up stuff to get arise. No one knows what the hell is about to happen in this case. I like the supense !

The fact that two NFL players may be charged with something related to a homicide in the same day is just unreal

With hindsight being his release from the team, though it is unconventional and radical, Hernandez should have retired from the NFL. He should have issued a statement that during this legal matter football could no longer be a priority in his life and that he needed to focus on clearing his name. The team would be rid of the distraction and Hernandez would have an avenue to return to the NFL if he is exonerated. The risk that stopped him was the loss of the bonus money, which could happen anyway. And now he is 24 hours away from being a former NFL player with no team.

Just thinking outside the box.

Florio…start your header:

“Hernandez Charged for 1st Degree Murder…no bail” smoking gun found in puddle near his house

The people saying patriots should not get relief.. it’s not about the Pats getting relief.. it’s about Hernandez being able to keep the money when he can’t do his job if he’s arrested and convicted.. And this is about thinking that there should be some stipulation that is in all NFL contracts protecting all teams against this type of thing. It should be standard.

Wasn’t it just a day or two ago that an article was posted on here about the law moving slowly with deciding on what to do with Hernandez?

Yeah, that article looks pretty silly now. Wonder how long it’ll take for the case to go to trial. Could it happen before the end of the year?

This guy is going to absolutely KILL it in the prison yard football games.

Scumbag. Rest of us works our butts off at 9-5 jobs and this guy gets blessed with a gift and throws it away because he hangs out with trash. Waste of life. Waste of talent. Waste of oxygen the rest of us could be breathing with.

I don’t like the Patriots, but I like less how gleeful people are over this situation. Someone was murdered and a promising career has been squandered by a young man with no guidance in his life. This is horrific. The Florida situation is looming and I wouldn’t be surprised if investigators re-open the Gainesville shooting. I hope he doesn’t kill himself.

The fact that he was arrested at his home plus the location where he was taken to both suggest that he is going to be charged with Murder 1 or Murder 2. There will still be a bail hearing even if he is charged with Murder 1 and the prosecutor will be required to explain why no bail should be granted. Assuming that there is a reporter in the courtroom, that should provide some insight into what the investigation discovered.

is anyone else as excited for 2pm as I am ? Nothing like a good who done it mystery, eh ?

The reporter on the video stated when you are arrested and when you are charged it is public information … which would mean the other two guys have not been arrested and charged as of yet, unless they were also arrested today. We should know who the other two are today, unless they are off the hook for now.

Maybe by “keep it simple” he meant lets all stop pretending we have a clue and see what comes out. Don’t forget that the original headlines were that Hernandez was not believed to have any involvement.
